December's Journal
03/01/2025
And now it's January, of a whole new year. It doesn't seem all that long since
I said the same about 2024. I feel certain that this year is going to be even
more tumultuous than last, especially with the international politics that
have been, or soon will be, in the offing. For the most part all I can do is
what I can do, and we can all just try to survive the rest.
Since the year started I've done very little other than mark a bit of time at
work and make sure I have as many ducks in a row as I can for when the real
working year starts on Monday of next week. I have managed to squeeze in an
absolute drenching on New Year's Day with Rel when we got up an hour later than
planned for our run and the wind and rain came down pretty solidly as we warmed
up for what turned out to be a great intervals session. Still, hot showers,
home made pancakes, bacon, blueberries, and maple syrup cures a lot of cold
and wetness.
Rel and I have already planned out a lot of the next few months in macro. I've
got two monthly trips to see my parents planned, and we might even get some
time together here and there due to Rel's amazing logistics. Work-wise I'm
going to try a lot harder to do some training this year, learning some new
technologies and skills, and generally getting more involved with development
rather than just maintenance of our technological estate (although I'll still
be working hard on getting rid of lots of technical debt we have, too). I've
got some running/race decisions to make, although Rel's already got me (us) an
amazing present I'll tell you more about after it's done in the middle of the
year.
